The Book
Tracy L. Coenen, CPA, CFE, MBA authored Essentials of Corporate Fraud, published by John Wiley & Sons.
The book guides executives, managers, attorneys, and auditors through the basics of corporate fraud. In order to effectively fight fraud, it is important to understand who commits fraud, why they do it, how they do it, and how it affects the company as a whole.
Essentials of Corporate Fraud is more than a primer on fraud detection and prevention. It is a real-world look at how fraud occurs from an expert who has investigated hundreds of internal frauds, including embezzlement, financial statement fraud, investment fraud, bribery, and corruption. Tracy Coenen’s broad experience ranging from law enforcement to traditional auditing and finally to forensic accounting and fraud investigations brings a unique perspective to this publication.
As noted on the cover, Essentials of Corporate Fraud offers readers the opportunity to:
- Understand the root causes of corporate fraud and how to manage it
- Identify red flags of corporate fraud
- Become familiar with common fraud schemes and their warning signs
- Learn basic fraud prevention procedures
- Discover the best ways for management to get involved in the fraud prevention process
The book is being published by John Wiley & Sons, and Tracy has chronicled her experience with publishing her first book on her corporate blog, The Fraud Files.
